LASSEN COUNTY, CITY OF SUSANVILLE, AND THE SUSANVILLE INDIAN RANCHERIA ARE SOLICITING PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.

Contact: James Moore (530) 257-5152 or jmoore@cityofsusanville.org

A public comment period has been set for final draft of the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) starting October 31, 2017 and concluding November 6, 2017.

The purpose of the LHMP is to identify natural hazards that have the potential to occur in Lassen County such as flooding, seismic events, severe storms, etc. and identify ways to prepare for and reduce the impacts of those hazards when they occur.

The public is invited to make comments or suggestions with overall consideration to the final draft of the plan. Two public meetings were also held regarding the LHMP to solicit input and comments. All comments received from the public will be documented and considered for inclusion into the plan.

The LHMP is undergoing a 5 year review by officials from Lassen County, City of Susanville, Susanville Indian Rancheria, Lassen OES, and other members of critical infrastructure such as LMUD, SSD, etc. When local officials and the public approve, the LHMP is submitted to California Office of Emergency Services (OES) for review and approval. Upon successful approval at Cal OES the LHMP is submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for final review and approval.
